Billy Corgan Deu A Entender Que Os Smashing Pumpkins Estão A Trabalhar Com Rick Rubin

Nada é certo, mas o líder dos Smashing Pumpkins continua o seu trabalho de provocação sobre o possível regresso da banda, acrescentado detalhes ao que já conhecemos. Desta longo texto no Instagram – acompanhando uma fotografia antiga do vocalista onde deu a entender que a banda estava a trabalhar com o produtor Rick Rubin:

I've had a crazy life. Good crazy, but crazy nonetheless. For example. I saw this picture of myself the other day. Besides having a generally good idea of when it was taken (1993 or 1994) I don't remember actually taking the photo, nor do I remember countless others like it between the years 1991-2004. Now, perhaps that says something about my inability or desire to remember, but I'd argue it's an unfortunate result of the blur of those years. Which leads me to this time, or this moment, where like so many, I share a window (curated as it is) into my crazy life. As an example, we are currently in the studio with Rick Rubin. But unless I show you a picture of Rick sitting Buddha-like at a mixing desk, you probably wouldn't know that. Or when I, in a very naive way, post a shot with a needle in my arm and ramble on about making peace with God and time left on dear 'ol Earth, it sent some signal to friends and associates alike that I was sick or wanted other's sympathy. (As fact, it was an IV full of vitamins and homeopathy to assist in getting over this vicious flu). So yes, was sick, and no, not serious in any way nor would I share such info here because this window I'd prefer to be one where you see the sunlight streaming through. The only addendum to that is when I saw how others were reacting to their perception of my misguided and poorly worded message, I chose not to react in kind; in essence I let the shadows cast be whatever you-they-them want to believe. Because we live now in a world where perception often outweighs reality, and that's fine. So to that, here's a new pic I just took of me with my sandy-brown, curly hair flowing in the studio breeze. Lots of love, WPC #wpc

Recentemente tinha sido partilhada uma imagem que indiciava um regresso dos Smashing Pumpkins. Na imagem, no entanto, estavam presentes, além Corgan, apenas James Iha e Jimmy Chamberlin. Quanto à baixista D’Arcy, ela mesma motivou a sua ausência, dizendo ter excluída da reunião.

Um possível envolvimento de Rick Rubin não será a primeira vez que o produtor trabalha com a banda”: Rubin foi o produtor do último álbum a solo de Billy Corgan “Ogilala” e num, passado distante, a música “Let Me Give the World to You” dos Smashing Pumpkins em 1997, que deveria ter sido parte do álbum “Adore”, mas foi cortada à última da hora.

Juntamente com a fotografia do início dos anos noventa publicada por Corgan, o músico também revelou algumas imagens dos instrumentos no estúdio de gravação.
